NFL Draft for Fins

[FlyerFinFan]

Tunsil it is worth the risk??? Hopefully he has a chip.

While I don't have a problem with Tunsil's talent, I just hope that he doesn't become another Dion Jordan.

If this kid can keep his head on straight, it could be the steal of the draft. The video everyone is talking about is apparently 4 years old.. he's passed every test since

 

[FlyerFinFan]

They do need oline badly it will be worth it if he's clean now.

I'll tell you now. Tunsil looks soft, pooh boy. He will be known as another crappy Fins high pick

Agreed..still some risk.

 

[Paolo305613]

If he can stay out of trouble... he will surely be worth the risk. Im confident we have the right guys on the team to keep him straight

The Fins just landed OT Laremy Tunsil. This guy has a lot of talent. He has starting LT talent. The Fins line is now stacked. One of the OT's will play at OG. Possibly two of them will play inside if Bushrod changes positions. The Fins have a lot of quality depth at the OT position now.

Lets check back in two years my friend. I think I was the one who called this on Dion Jordan a while back

 

[FanofPelicans]

Most draft analysts had Tunsil ranked in the top 5. The Fins have some good influences like J James, Albert & others. Tunsil may just put his bad decisions behind him & make the most of his opportunity.

Believe me, I hope so. They need help on line so bad. You mentioned they are stacked on O-line, just want to see positive results on this pick.

 

[FanofPelicans]

The big question will be who moves inside to OG. Albert is a very good experienced LT. J James has been solid at RT since his rookie year. Injuries have plagued the Fins at the OT position but when these guys are healthy & playing together they usually win together.

 

[psaboy]

So with next pick;

CB if Alexander is there?
If not, RB Henry?
Or, Jack
Or Ragland?

I would like Henry or Alexander, if CB is it and Alexander is gone, Davis from Maryland??

 

[FanofPelicans]

I would probably pick CB Alexander or CB Fuller. Either of these guys have starter talent. If they are gone the Fins may need to look to their current roster for the other starting CB. If Alexander & Fuller are gone than the Fins could pick a high quality RB.

Henry is a real bruiser with a lot of mileage from his days in Bama. He could share carries with Ajayi and it could work. He may be gone which is OK because Dixon is more versatile as a pass catcher.

RE Jack: That is a very good option but the Fins have solid starters Jenkins, Alonso & Misi (although Misi usually misses games every year due to injury) Jack is intriguing because he could help the team win right away & he could play at a high level for at least a few years. He would be another draft steal for the Fins if he is available. Ragland would be a solid run stuffer but teams would make have to cover RB's & TE's in the passing game & that could be a challenge for him.

Trading up for Xavien Howard, a guy that was definitely going to be there when you were originally picking???

Fuller was probably the best CB on the board, I seriously wonder what they saw in Howard that made them think that he was a better pick than Fuller.

 

[FanofPelicans]

I was surprised that they traded up. It cost them their 4th round pick and they gained a 6th pick. They must have really wanted him. Xavien Howard is a big press corner that is an impact player. He had 9 interceptions and 23 pass break ups in the last two years at Baylor.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

I think that it was all about scheme. They obviously traded up as they felt they had to. They know more than us hopefully it pays off as they desperately need a solid CB. I can see them going RB in 3rd unless a real good LB is there.

 

[FanofPelicans]

I think the Fins are planning to play more press coverage. The Fins just got a versatile and very fast RB. I like the Kenyan Drake pick.

You don't know that Howard was going to be there.

They're looking for a larger, longer, tenacious zone CB. Probably not Fuller and definitely not Alexander.
